Wood plank floors and wooden bins with the vegies in that you weighted right there then went to the cashier. Two blocks form the first house I remember living in(the second house for me really). Guys back form the war carrying things to your car, telling me all sorts of stuff about the war and Germany......jk

We had an A&P in town it had a Nickel Coke Machine near the back of the store. I managed to buy one Coke for a Nickel and a week later the machine was gone.
Never going to see a Coke for a Nickel again.

There is a big, fairly new A & P grocery store near Hackettstown, NJ. It's been sitting empty for the ten years or so I've been passing by that way for winter work.
Eh...wot?

If I 'm not mistaking A & P, in Canada anyway, was the first grocery chain to experience a unionizing of employees, as I recall employees experienced a dramatic over night increase in wages, creation of pensions, etc., price of product followed suit. All of which may have led to it's demise or at least re structuring and re branding.
